Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Overview

Kirklees Council are undertaking a programme (Kirklees Innovative EV Programme) through City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) funding with two core elements: (1) A trial of innovative on-street residential EV charge point solutions, attentive to the contextual challenges of such infrastructure provision in Kirklees (e.g. terraced housing and lack of council land/highway space for provision). (2) A community-based electric vehicle car club-style trial for residents and businesses to address barriers to adoption, enabling behavioural change and facilitating EV transition. The whole programme is approximately £3m. We are unable to determine yet the proportion of each element. This pre-market engagement focuses upon the need for trialling a range of innovative on-street Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure as part of the programme. It seeks to gain logistical understandings of potential operation from suppliers, as well as indicative cost estimates Kirklees Council is seeking a partner/s that can deliver a publicly accessible trail infrastructure provision with the partner predominately responsible for turnkey installation and operation, as well as providing an on-going 24/7 service (including the management of payments and support), maintenance and repair to ensure the network is always fully operational.
